Raw cow milk is seeded with lactic cultures, warmed to 32 °C, set with calf rennet at 30–33 °C, cut, washed with water and stirred at 36–45 °C. The pressed wheel drains to about pH 5.0, is brined, and ripens at least three months at 7–14 °C on red-fir boards while its smeared rind is brushed.

At a glance
Raw cow milk is seeded with lactic cultures, warmed to 32 °C, set with calf rennet at 30–33 °C, cut, washed with water and stirred at 36–45 °C. The pressed wheel drains to about pH 5.0, is brined, and ripens at least three months at 7–14 °C on red-fir boards while its smeared rind is brushed. Made in 7 steps over 3 months. The longest step, ripen on red-fir boards, brushing the smear, takes at least 3 months (Swiss Federal Office for Agriculture (OFAG) 2023) and runs at 7–14 °C (Swiss Federal Office for Agriculture (OFAG) 2023). Smear (morge) flora native to each dairy; after a long break in production, cultures from other Valais dairies may restart it, and Brevibacterium linens if that fails does most of the fermenting.
Raclette du Valais must be made from raw milk, and the curd is washed with 10–15 % water before it is heated. Its rind is a smear grown from each dairy's own flora, and wheels are stamped with the name of the alp or dairy. The à rebibes version, ripened at least 12 months, is soaked, scrubbed free of its smear and rubbed with oil and vinegar.

Raclette du Valais à la coupeRipened at least 2 months; sold in pieces.
Raclette du Valais à rebibesRipened at least 12 months at 4–14 °C and 70–80 % RH; at 3–4 months soaked 25–30 min in 22–25 °C water, scrubbed, then rubbed with oil and vinegar.
Safety
The milk is raw; the specification bans any heat treatment other than cooling.
The Valais tourism board says cheese is attested in the Valais from the 4th century BC, that melted cheese was known there in 1574, and that the name raclette was written from 1874. In November 2003 the Federal Agriculture Office registered the name Raclette to the Valais, citing the 1574 record. A Federal Court judgment of 15 October 2007 held that the bare term Raclette is not protected; the protected name is Raclette du Valais.
